Petrobras has identified a second oil-bearing interval at the Morpho exploration well in the FZA-M-59 block offshore Amapá, reinforcing indications of hydrocarbon potential in Brazil’s Equatorial Margin. The well, formally designated 1-BRSA-1405-APS, is being drilled in ultra-deepwater at about 2,886 meters. Petrobras began deeper drilling after reporting an initial hydrocarbon discovery at Morpho in August 2026, targeting formations below the first find. The latest interval was identified through electrical well logs and evidence from rock and fluid samples. Laboratory testing remains under way, while samples from the August discovery have confirmed that the earlier oil is of good quality. Petrobras plans to finish drilling and evaluate the formations before assessing commercial significance; the find is not yet a declaration of commercial reserves.
